It's surely a step back in the right direction for DiS, but it's still nowhere near as filthy or brutal as their debut. It sounds like some combination of their two albums, with some Gnaw Their Tongues tacked on for whoyknowswhy. It's surely a step up after Widowmaker, but given that album pushed the band three steps backwards, this one step forward still leaves much to be desired--of both collaborating groups.

Low 9 out of 10: This is something that is just so fucking disgusting and unforgiving, that you really need a stomach to make sure you can really bare with it through it's 32 minute length. If you're into black metal that just gets to your gut though, do not ignore this fucking collaboration.

Though it's been a quiet three years for Dragged Into Sunlight, it's been a great year for Gnaw Their Tongues, which saw the release of a vicious album in Abyss Of Longing Throats. This collaboration is Dragged Into Sunlight's reemergence (a welcomed one at that), and something of a raising of a victorious glass for Gnaw Their Tongues. Like most collaborations, it seems better on paper than in practice, but here, it's not too far off. Gnaw Their Tongues' Maurice De Jong contributes an excellent vocal performance, while the guitars and drums are handled by Dragged Into Sunlight. The guitars sound forceful and imposing, and the drums, while not too well produced, are competently played. It creates an atmosphere similar to the one on Abyss Of Longing Throats, yet instead of a nihilistic sentiment there is often a murderous one. The samples are very hit or miss. The samples in "Visceral Repulsion" just seem forced, but the ones in "Absolver" are very well placed. In all, it's a great collaboration; maybe not as disgusting and venomous as was hoped, but still great nonetheless.
